When I turn my computer on (or reboot) I get this error message box in the middle of my desktop screen. How can I get rid of it? I will write exactly as it appears below:

At the top left of the error box it says : RUNDLL and then down in the actual box it says :Error loading C:\Program~1\MYWEBS~1\bar\2.bin\MWSBAR.DLL

then under that it says : The specified module could not be found.

Last week upon turning my computer on, I got a message box in the lower right hand side of my screen that said I had a "PUP" & it gave me several options of what to do. I chose the option to delete the "PUP". It seems like that was when this error message started appearing. Could that have had something to do with this error message? How can I get rid of this message? Any help would be much appreciated....Debbie.....

By the way, I have a Dell Dimension 3000, Pentium 4, 2.80 GHz, 256 MB of RAM with Windows XP Pro

If you have taken anything out of startups via msconfig please go to Start – Run – type in msconfig – click OK and click on the Startup tab. Put a check mark beside everything you see listed there and then please do the following:

First of all, Thank You so much for taking my email address out. I wasn't thinking. I had put it in there incase anyone wanted to email me instead of answering here on the forum. Very dumb of me.

Also, Thank You for the info on helping me get rid of the error message that I keep getting, upon start-up. I am going to do what you said to do & as soon as I'm finished I will come back to this thread & "paste" my log file.

Download the trial version of Ewido Anti-spyware from HERE and save that file to your desktop. When the trial period expires it becomes freeware with reduced functions but still worth keeping.

Once you have downloaded Ewido Anti-spyware, locate the icon on the desktop and double-click it to launch the set up program.

Once the setup is complete you will need run Ewido and update the definition files.

On the main screen select the icon "Update" then select the "Update now" link.

Next select the "Start Update" button, the update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.

Once the update has completed select the "Scanner" icon at the top of the screen, then select the "Settings" tab.

Once in the Settings screen click on "Recommended actions" and then select "Quarantine"

Under "Reports"

Select "Automatically generate report after every scan"

Un-Select "Only if threats were found"

Close Ewido Anti-spyware, Do NOT run a scan yet. We will do that later in safe mode.

Reboot your computer into Safe Mode now. You can do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode then hit enter.IMPORTANT: Do not open any other windows or programs while Ewido is scanning as it may interfere with the scanning process:

Launch Ewido Anti-spyware by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.

Select the "Scanner" icon at the top and then the "Scan" tab then click on "Complete System Scan".

Ewido will now begin the scanning process. Be patient this may take a little time.Once the scan is complete do the following:

If you have any infections you will prompted, then select "Apply all actions"

Next select the "Reports" icon at the top.

Select the "Save report as" button in the lower left hand of the screen and save it to a text file on your system (make sure to remember where you saved that file, this is important).
